Holy Spirit Convicts of Unrighteousness

Marty Gabler–As the people of God assemble today may the Holy Spirit work by the Word of God to convict of unrighteousness and help us to align with righteousness and the plans and workings of our Lord in this season in the earth.  (Prov.12:28, Amp) “Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).”

Minor Items Inch Toward Major Positions

Marty Gabler–How far up on the list have we let minor items inch toward major positions in recent years? Habits, indulgences and expenditures tend to creep ever upward among priorities and can eventually press biblically-based convictions out of position. May the Lord help us keep things in the order that the wisdom of biblical values would put them. Matt.8:22, Msg–“First things first. Your business is life, not death. Follow me. Pursue life.”

An Exciting Time


Melissa Gabler—It really is an exciting time, even though it may not look like it, because we have entered a new era. Let’s look a little closer at what this means.  Merriam Webster defines “era” as: “a memorable or important date or event, especially one that begins a new period in the history of a person or thing, a stage in development.”  When I read this definition, that last part jumped off the screen, “a stage in development”.  So, I looked up “development“: “1. An unfolding; the discovering of something secret or withheld from the knowledge of others; 2. The unraveling of a plot.” Oh my! We have been in the midst of an “unraveling plot” our entire lives! I am basing the time span of the past era on the life of Dr. Billy Graham.  There were several words out there that the death of Dr. Graham would mark significant change, and that is when I knew we were truly in a new era.  So, for most of us we have been in this “stage of development” all of our lives.  God has been developing the Kingdom here on earth throughout the past era and we are about to see what He has been doing.

Miracles Can Require Perseverance

KATHY GABLER—Miracles can require perseverance.  The woman with the issue of blood had at least five justifiable reasons to give up and die: her culture, her gender, her strength, her experience and the odds against success in actually reaching Jesus, but she pushed on.  Her moment of relief was only one part of that miracle.

May Our Lord Minister to Your Memory

Marty Gabler—May our Lord minister to your memory and regret so that you seldom, if ever, think of those things again that caused them;  and if you do happen to think of them, may they not take any toll on your sense of worth or readiness to obey your Lord. May He move upon the hearts and minds of those who have freeze-framed you, to just let it go. And if they need to forgive you, may they receive from our Lord the grace to do so.  “And the Master, God, stays right there and helps me, so I’m not disgraced. Therefore I set my face like flint, confident that I’ll never regret this.  8  My champion is right here.  Let’s take our stand together!  Who dares bring suit against me?  Let him try!” (Isa.50:7-8, Msg)

An Evil Agenda

MELISSA GABLER—It’s making sense now why we don’t see many signs, wonders and miracles.  We have lived so long under and believed the rules of engagement of an evil agenda. As disgusting as this is let me say it like this, we have basically had a relationship with this evil agenda causing us to operate under man’s wisdom that has been shaped by the fear this agenda produces to the point that we have almost been completely sterilized by it.  Who knew how massive the deception had become? This is why this awakening is coming in phases and not all in one event.  It’s too big for one moment. The rules of engagement change when my relationship is with my King and not the enticing spirit of the age.  When my identity comes from relationship with Him I don’t live by society’s rules on life, love and prosperity.  I live by Kingdom rules.  The intensity has cranked up but it’s leading to a Kingdom invasion through those that engage to win.

Due-Time

KATHY GABLER—Expectancy comes alive at the intersection of Prepared and Due-Time.  By the time the prepared son or daughter intersects with Due-Time, something’s gotta  give, something’s gotta change, something’s gotta manifest in the earth as in heaven.  An expectant woman goes through nine months of preparation and transformation to get to due time of delivery.  People of purpose go through twenty days, twenty weeks, twenty months or twenty years, (twenty signifying the time needed to prepare and transform into God’s order), to get to due time.  A holy EXPECTANCY  announces you are on that threshold of God’s good plans ready to be propelled into what has been developing for tangible manifestation. 

Don’t Fling Away Your Fearless Confidence

Marty Gabler–As the people of God assemble today may they not fling away their fearless confidence. May they find that it carries a great compensation of reward. May they have a steadfast patience and endurance and, with them, perform and fully accomplish the will of God. May they enjoy doing the will of God in 2025. May they receive what is promised. We are praying you discover daily that you are walking more and more in that for which you were born.
(Heb.10:35-36, Amp) “Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.”

When Considering the Future

Marty Gabler–When considering people and anticipating the future, don’t rule out Holy Spirit’s involvement. 1Cor.2:9— “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. v.10 “BUT God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” From the profitable instruction given us in v.10, it stands to reason that we must be in relationship with Holy Spirit to have valuable, enabling things revealed to us. Not only does He reveal the necessary to us but He is actively working (often unnoticed) in circumstances that have the unmovable look of already being set in cement. Our anticipatory prayers and prophesying and declarations will include factoring in Holy Spirit’s power and behind-the-scenes working. He is the power factor, influence factor, heart-change factor. He is the anticipation factor. Cf. 1Cor.2:10 v.10 “BUT God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” Don’t fail to consider Him.
